Long explanation:

The grammar form ~테니까 [tenikka] is used to express 'because' in Korean. It is a complex form used to clarify the reason for a certain situation, behavior or outcome. There is usually no new information in the clause before ~테니까; the new or important information is in the clause after it. The ~테니까 pattern emphasizes the connection between cause and effect more than simple ~서 pattern.
